Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee once again proved that nothing is impossible with hard work, perseverance, and passion.
On Instagram, the Kapuso actress and beauty queen proudly posted some snaps of herself from her first walk as the newly crowned Miss Universe Philippines during the coronation night of the prestigious pageant.
In her caption, Michelle shared her thoughts and her experience after claiming the crown.
“It's not done until it's won.
“That has been my mindset not just for this year but for all the times I joined Miss Universe Philippines. No matter how it looks, it was never and it never got easier to prepare for each time I would compete. Each year was full of hard work, sacrifices, and risks that I hope [to] pay off at the end. Winning this year validates not just to me but to every Filipino that with hard work, perseverance, and passion, you can achieve anything,” she wrote.
Michelle also expressed her gratitude to all the people who supported her from the very beginning of her Miss Universe Philippines 2023 journey.
“Team MMD, my management, my sponsors, and especially to the generous designers, thank you for believing in me and for helping me turn my dreams into reality. Without your creative input, dedication, and trust, I know I wouldn't be here today.
“To my family and friends, thank you for supporting me through all the ups and downs that come with this crazy and amazing ride. Thank you for being my rock and for giving me the strength to keep going,” she said.
The Sparkle star also thanked the Miss Universe Organization for believing in her.
“To the Miss Universe Philippines Organization, thank you for trusting me to represent the Philippines on the international stage. All the efforts and hard work I did to win the crown yesterday will not stop there,” she continued.
Michelle also mentioned how her fans and supporters inspired her to keep going despite going through a lot of challenges.
“Lastly, to my supporters, thank you for cheering me on through my pageant journey. When the going gets tough, your support is what pushes me to keep going. #mmdverse
“The next chapter of my pageant journey is no longer my own. It's for each Filipino that I will be representing in El Salvador. Knowing this doesn't just inspire me. It pushes me to work even harder and to dream bigger. It pushes me to do whatever it takes to bring home the Miss Universe crown to the Philippines. #DEEPATAPOS ang laban. Nag-uumpisa palang tayo,” she continued.
